As is in Shri Sai Satcharita, by Hemadpant .. Chapter XXXVII Page 195

Om Sai Shri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai

Blessed is Sai's life, blessed is His daily routine.  His ways and actions are indescribable.  Sometimes, He was intoxicated with Brahmanand (divine joy), and at other times content, with Self knowledge.  While doing so many things sometimes, He was yet unconcerned with them.  Though, He seemed at times quite actionless (doing nothing), He was not idle or dozing;  He always abided, in His own Self.  Though He looked calm and quiet as the placid sea, He was deep and unfathomable, Who can describe His ineffable nature?  He regarded men as brothers; women as sisters and mothers.  He was a perfect and perpetual celibate, as everybody knows.  May the understanding (knowledge), we got in His company, last long unto death.  Let us ever serve Him, with whole-hearted devotion to His Feet.  Let us see Him (God) in all beings, and let us ever love His name.

Om Sai Shri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai

A woman, of the Kayastha Prabhu caste in Bombay, always suffered terrible pain at her delivery.  She was very much frightened, each time she became pregnant, and did not know what to do, Shri Ramamaruthi of Kalyan, who was a devotee of Baba, advised her husband to take her to Shirdi, for a painless delivery.  When she next became pregnant, both husband and wife came to Shirdi, stayed there for some months and worshipped Baba; and got all the benefit of His company.  After some time, the hour of delivery came, and as usual there was obstruction in the passage from the womb.  She began to suffer labour pains, did not know what to do, but began to pray to Baba for relief.  In the meantime, some neighbouring women turned up; and after invoking Baba's aid, gave her Udi-mixture to drink.  In five minutes, the woman delivered safely and painlessly.  The issue was still-born according to its fate; but the mother who got rid of the anxiety and pain, thanked Baba for the safe delivery and ever remained grateful to Him.

So those, who are fortunate enough to get Baba's Udi should, after bath, apply it on the forehead and take some little of it, mixed with water in the mouth as holy Tirth.

In 1971, Haribhau Karnik of Dahanu (Thana District) came to Shirdi, on the Guru-pournima day (in the month of Ashadha), and worshipped Baba with all formality.  He offered clothes and Dakshina, and after taking Baba's leave through Shama, got down the steps of the Masjid.  Then he thought that he should offer one more rupee to Baba, and was just turning to climb up, when Shama informed him by signs, that as he had got Baba's leave, he should go and not return.  So he started home.  On his way, when he went into the temple of Kala Rama at Nasik for darshana, the Saint Narsing Mahraj, who used to sit just inside the big door of the temple, left his Bhaktas there came to Haribhau, caught his wrist and said- "Give me my one rupee".  Karnik was surprised; he paid the rupee most willingly and thought, that Sai Baba recovered the rupee, which he intended in his mind to give, through, shows how they work in unison.

This story illustrates the fact that all Saints are one; and shows how they work in unison.

Om Sai Shri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai

I thought, that, what a man might give, does not last long; and it is always imperfect.  But what My Sircar (God) gives, lasts to the end of time.  No other gift from any man can be compared to His.  My Sircar says 'Take, take.'  but everybody comes to Me and says 'Give, give.'

Let us bow now before the great Saints.  Their merciful glances will destroy mountains of sins and do away with all the evil taints of our character.  Their casual talk gives us good teachings, and confers on us imperishable happiness.  Their minds do not know any difference such as 'This is ours and that is yours'.  Such differentiation never arises in their minds.  Their debts (obligations) will never be repaid by us in this birth, as well as in many future births.

Om Sai Shri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai

Really thi Jiva (human soul) transcends the three qualities viz., Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas, but being deluded by Maya, he forgets his nature which is 'Existence-knowledge-bliss', and thinks that he is the doer and enjoyer; and thus entangles himself in endless miseries and does not know the way of deliverance.  The only way of deliverance is the Loving Devotion towards the Guru's feet.  The great Player, or Actor, Lord Sai, has delighted His Bhaktas and transformed them into Himself (His nature).
